Finally after 8 years someone is building on the empty lot across from us! It has been the only vacant lot in our neighborhood for a while now and I think all of the people on our street were starting to wonder if anyone was every going to build on it. Caleb has loved watching them build and has kept a close eye on the progress and is always giving us an update on what the workers are doing. Around mid April they started putting the sheetrock up. Caleb enjoyed just sitting on the sidewalk watching them deliver it. They had to take the upstairs window out so that they could use a crane and deliver the sheetrock on the second floor through the window space. I thought it was so cute that he went and got his vest to put on as if he was one of the workers. He sat and watched them on the sidewalk for a while or he would just ride his bike up and down the street keeping an eye on what they were doing. I love this sweet boy and how he just enjoys life and takes time to soak it all in!

Sorry but I had to go back and capture a few pictures of my sweet baby boy's first Easter. I love Easter and am like a little kid when it comes to getting to dye Easter eggs. This year we dyed eggs two different times because Caleb asked if we could pretty early in the month and I decided why not :) I'll admit I was just about as giddy as Caleb was the night before Easter. I told David when I was younger I could hardly go to sleep the night before Easter because I was excited for the Easter Bunny to visit now it's because I can't wait to see the excitement on the boys faces when they wake up and see what the Easter Bunny left. :)

It was so fun watching Caleb look for eggs and shake each one to see if it had something inside. We also enjoyed getting to watch Joshua dive into his first Easter basket.

Joshua's First Easter Basket

We attempted to take a few family pictures but Joshua was not having it that morning and to get both boys at this stage to look at the camera and smile at the same time is nearly impossible so you just have to go with it.

We went to Nana and Papa's after church for lunch and Caleb couldn't stay out of the ham before lunch was served. That boy loves him some ham!

Nana had a super cute table fixed for Easter and folded these sweet little bunny napkins.

We had a nice Easter and enjoyed getting to spend some time with family.
